The Report of the Grand jury.

The Grand Jury (by the way, one of the
most intelligent that ever sat in the court
house, last week made report that is very
gratifying That report showed the Jail is
in most excellent condition; that the Sher-
iii is a faithful and painstaking officer and
Is not to be blamed with any escape of pris-
oners in the past; that only twenty five rer-
sons are in the poor-house, four of whom are
insane; that the county poor-house is well
managed, and the inmates carefully attend
ed to; that the finances of the county are in
good condition and the Clerk, Register,
treasurer and Sheriff are all good, honest,
faithful officers. Upon all of this The SEN
TlNEL congratulates the people of the coun-
ty and trusts that In the next election thew
will send equally as trustworthy and in ev-
cry way competent men to fill these offices.
That will be all that can be asked.

a Grand Temperance M.etinr.

Monday night Browns Opera Hall was
crowded to overlooking by an audience that
represented the wealth and the culture of
the towns They were there, not to see the
ballet, or to hear histrionic amateurs tear
passion into tatters; but were there to take
part in the great movement of reform that
is going on in our midst. They were there
to take sides against the Liquor Devil and
to show their high appreciation of the no.

from our midst. The following is the pro-

A COlored NJ. Z. Church.

Bishop Joseph Beebe, of the Colored
M. E Church, was in the city several days
the past week for the purpose of organizing
a church in Winston. On Sunday evening
he preached in the Opera House to fair
audience of both white and colored citizens.
At the close of his sermon he gave a very
interesting lecture upon the history of
himself and church, stating that he was
born in Fayettevillee, n. G., and when
quite young, through the assistance Of his
white friends, bought his freedom paying
therefor $2,300-in order that he might
go north and study for the ministry. This
he did and several years since he was elect
ed one Of the FIVE Bishops of his church
At the close of his lecture. he stated that
ne had organized a church here and that at
the conference which meets at Edenton, n.
C.. on the 10th inst, he would appoint a
minister to the church at this place.

/ (Clrcular No. 81 the results of the Commits

Commission was formed b. the Legislature.
with instructions to make an exauina i"u
of the food supply Of the State, and 10 give
a report Of such examination to the public.
The examination Of the baking powders
was made by Professor III. A. Weber, State
Chemist, and, relating as it does to an arti-
| Gle of daily use in the food of almost every
one, is of particular interest.
The rather startling fact is brought out
by the report that of the thirty different.
| brands of baking powder analyzed, compos-
| ing about all those sold in the State, twenty
| of them are made from alum, substance de-
| clared by the highest medical authority to
! be injurious to health when used in food.
The Commissioner classifes the baking
powders into three general divisions accord
ing to their value:
1st- Cream of Tartar Baking Powders
I'd. Phosphate Baking Powders
Sd. Alum Baking Powders
The object of baking powders is, when
mixed in the -four and subjected TO moisture.
to generate leavening gas in the dough,
which will raise the bread and cause it to
be porous and light. The Commissioner ex-
plains that the best baking powder is that
which, the ingredients being heaIthful,
gives off the largest amount of leavening gas
and leaves the smallest amount of residuum
in the bread. A small amount of carbonate
of ammonia which is considered heaIthful,
is used in some of the cream of tartar DOW
ders to give them a higher strength The
commission say that pure alum is undoubt-
eddy hurtful salt, and that the resultant
salts from its combination with soda as for
med in the bread, can scarcely be less hurt
full. The report ranks the powders and
shows the amount in each of inert resultants,
which in using it would appear as residuum
in the bread, as follows:

his two last sermons during the present

criminal cases the civil docket receiving

The sentence passed upon Mr.. w. S. Hay

his time to remain in Jail from twelve to six
